CHAPTER XVIII
Summer in Tanigawa City is also the peak season for tourism.
When you walk through this city where the classical and the modern are blended, whether you are old or young, or whether your preferences are dynamic or quiet, you can always find your own side of the world here.
Because of this, despite its location in the southwestern hinterland and its lack of absolute accessibility, Tanigawa City still attracts thousands of tourists every year.
It is such a city with extremely high population mobility, but it has been ranked in the forefront of the model cities of public security in country M for eight consecutive years.
Tanigawa is beautiful, and the most beautiful is Jialing water.
This is a catchy saying that is spread among the people of Tanigawa.
On the west bank of the Jialing River is the old town of Tanigawa City, represented by Longhua District. It is densely populated, high-rise buildings are lined up, and it is located in the ancient alleys of western Sichuan that are full of tourists all year round. On the east bank of it is a new urban area represented by Jinchang District. It is full of green trees, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the livable Walnut Ridge Community and Runjing Water Garden Villa are built here.
The Jialing River is like a ribbon embedded in the sky, winding its way through the city from north to south.
Tong Yu's family lives in the Fengjingling community. According to the geographical location, his home is at the junction of Longhua District and Tieji District.
Fengjingling was originally the first batch of high-end residential communities in Tanigawa City. Although its exterior looks a little dilapidated to this day, the interior of the house is still a textbook model for all subsequent real estate projects in Tanigawa City.
Similarly, the people who live in the Fengjingling community are all old Guchuan people.
The reason why Fengjingling Community can become a model of real estate in Tanigawa City is not only because of its avant-garde decoration, but also because of its unique feng shui.
Therefore, even though the price was expensive at the beginning of the opening of the Fengjingling Community, it was still so popular that it was difficult to find a household, and it was sold out on the opening day.
Tong Yu's family is well-off, and money is not a problem for him. One of the most important reasons why he chose to live here is because of his work.
Tong Yu is a bailiff at the Tanigawa City People's Court. To put it bluntly, his job is that of the bailiff who is specifically responsible for carrying out the execution.
In his own words, he died to go to heaven. For he came to earth for God to punish the wicked.
Despite his lofty words, it still can't hide the fact that he is an executioner with blood on his hands. So in the dead of night, he himself often fell into a panic, those faces who were shot in the head, those eyes that were widened after he refilled the gun, like a non-stop movie, looping in his mind.
This man who said that he was going to heaven when he died, but he often dreamed that he was being killed by a spirit.
His mental problems are getting worse and worse. He began to suffer from insomnia, or suddenly woke up after falling asleep, and kept yelling and screaming in his mouth.
Because of this, Tong Yu's daughter, who was still in junior high school, had to live with her grandmother.
Tong Yu's wife, Zhang Na, is knowledgeable and gentle. Seeing that her husband's psychological problems are becoming more and more prominent, this woman who married from Xixi is also very anxious.
Hard work pays off, and an old doctor inadvertently mentioned by Zhang Na's new colleague made her see the hope of turning around.
Although today is Wednesday, Zhang Na still took leave from her boss early before getting off work yesterday. She didn't want to wait for a moment. She couldn't wait to take Tong Yu straight to this old doctor right away.
The old doctor's clinic is located at Niujia Lane on Kwun Tong Street. This is the longest alley in Kwun Tong Street, winding and winding, with nine steps in a loop. The name of the clinic is "Boiling Quiet Hall", which means a touch of silence in the bustling crowd of people.
When Zhang Na took Tong Yu to find the Boiling Hall, the old ancient doctor was already waiting there. His face was ruddy, his long beard was fluttering, and his bones were strange, although he was eighty-five years old, he still looked extremely energetic, quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones.
After asking Tong Yu's age, birthdate, place of origin and occupation, the old ancient doctor frowned. After a while, he raised his head, took out two huge pills from his hand and handed them to Tong Yu, telling him to divide the two pills into ten small pills equally after returning home, and take them three times a day before going to bed, and said that they would be effective after seven days.
Zhang Na was relieved at this time, and his frowning brows slowly relaxed.
When she and Tong Yu walked out of the boiling hall hand in hand, Tanigawa City, which had been raining for days, finally let out the sunny again. Zhang Na, who had already taken a leave of absence, thought that Tong Yu's mental illness could be cured immediately, and her mood became completely clear. She hadn't gone shopping with Tong Yu for a long time, and she decided to go shopping for a day today. At the same time, she also called her daughter Tong Lele during recess, and agreed that Tong Lele's family of three would go to the ancient alleys of western Sichuan to eat her favorite Shancheng Bangbang Chicken after school tonight.
After graduating from university, Zhang Na married Tong Yu. This year marks the fifteenth year of their marriage. Zhang Na came to Tanigawa from Xixi to study at university, and the two fell in love at first sight at a legal popularization event between the school and the court. Later, the Zhang family strongly opposed it after hearing about Tong Yu's career, but Zhang Na still persuaded everyone in the family to marry Tanigawa resolutely.
The husband and wife respect each other as if they were guests. The birth of Tong Lele in the second year of marriage added a lot of joy to this family of three. In less than ten days, it will be the wedding anniversary of the two people. Fifteen years of ups and downs, the crystal wedding naturally has to be celebrated.
Today before that, it was a small warm-up in the big celebration.
Although it is Wednesday, Kwun Tong Street is still crowded. People speaking different dialects from all over the world gathered at some of the most famous spots in Kwun Tong Street to take photos.
Zhang Na took Tong Yu's hand and walked leisurely on the stone road, and neither of the husband and wife noticed that the man wearing a hat who walked over from the opposite side immediately bumped into Tong Yu's body.
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!h
With the frightened cries of the people fleeing in all directions, Zhang Na looked back, but the scene in front of her made her sit on the ground in an instant.
Tong Yu was lying on his back on the ground, blood spurting out of his abdomen, staining the stone pavement under him red in an instant. A few bold people gathered in front of them, and some people in the crowd pulled out their phones to call the police.
Sun Meng's eyes were full of coldness when he stepped down from the Grand Cherokee. His angular face was full of anger.
This time in front of the provincial department, the face of the Tanigawa City Public Security Bureau was afraid that it would be lost.
The police of the Longhua District Police Station, who arrived in advance, have already cordoned off the scene. At present, the middle section of Kwun Tong Street is surrounded by a large circle around the crime scene. People outside the circle rushed to look inside.
When Sun Meng came to Zhang Na, the thirty-eight-year-old woman was still glazed.
"Dead." Li Yingbo stood up and whispered in Sun Meng's ear.
"Who is this? What the are you doing in the field? That's what you do? Sun Meng was uncharacteristically furious, and he angrily asked the police of the Longhua Police Station in front of him.
"Moe team, Moe team! This is the family of the deceased. It was Che Jiaxiang, director of the Tanigawa City Police Station, who spoke. He has not been at the scene for many years, he just received a call from Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei couldn't help but say that he was scolded for wearing his head and face, and this small man of more than 1.6 meters hurriedly brought people to the scene in person.
"So the identity of the deceased has been confirmed?" Sun Meng squinted at the deceased, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously: "Why is this person so familiar?" ”
"My husband, she's also a policeman..."Zhang Na sat on the ground, staring at Tong Yu's corpse with her eyes. Half an hour ago, she just wanted to see the condition of the small pendant on the roadside stall, so she let go of her hand for four or five seconds, but she was separated from Tong Yutian forever.
"Oh, I remember." Zhang Na's words made Sun Meng seem to think of something, he rubbed his chin with his right hand and said softly: "Is this Lao Tong of the city court?" ”
Zhang Na didn't answer, she just nodded weakly.
Sun Meng put on disposable rubber gloves, and he gently leaned down to check Tong Yu's body.
At this time, Li Yingbo had completed the preliminary inquest at the scene, and he was communicating with Zhou Kai in a whisper, and Zhou Kai took off his gloves and recorded something in his notebook from time to time.
"You take her away first." Sun Meng stood up and pointed to Zhang Na, who was sitting on the ground, and Li Suqing and Gu Xiang hurriedly walked up. Then he walked to Lee Ying-bo; "How about Lao Li?"
"After my preliminary inquest at the scene, it was found that the deceased had been shot and died. The cause of death was a bullet piercing the aorta in his abdomen from left to right, causing excessive blood loss and killing him instantly. At the same time, we found a bullet casing with a caliber of 5.56mm and deflagrated 2 meters from the deceased's side. There were slight scratches on the outside of the bullet casing, so I suspect that the other side may have added a silencer to the muzzle. ”
"Another 5.56mm bullet?" Sun Meng squinted and twisted her chin.
"Has anyone noticed the physical characteristics of the suspect?"
"Team Moe, we're investigating. At the time of the crime, there was a dense flow of people on this street, so the suspect should have easily blended into the crowd and left the scene. After Li Suqing replied to Sun Meng, he held a tablet in his hand and continued to investigate.
"Old Sun! What do you see this is? Li Yingbo took out a brooch-sized nameplate from the pocket of Tong Yu's jacket, with a big "X" painted on it, and the whole nameplate looked shiny in the sunlight.
"This? How can it be?! Sun Meng was taken aback when she saw the nameplate.
"Lao Sun, do you think of the extraordinarily large smuggling and murder case in Jingnan on December 11?" Li Yingbo obviously realized that the shooting in front of him was not so simple, and his face was also full of seriousness.
"However, that detail has never been released to the public by the police." Sun Meng squinted and frowned.
